“A group of us have taken Yoav’s Python for Engineers course during 4.5 days, as part of a process to shift from using MATLAB® as our main workhorse for R&D. The course was great for us, and covered many topics which would be beneficial in the future – from the basics of Python as a language and its various packages, up to more advanced topics like image processing, GUI building, and parallel computing.
Yoav’s background as a researcher using Python makes the course very suitable for people looking to use Python for research. Not only is Yoav very knowledgeable in the intricacies of Python, but he is also a great teacher, who was able to provide valuable insights and answers to any questions.
I would definitely recommend this course for any person wishing to start using Python. ”

“Yoav gave PDC (Applied Material Israel) a Scientific Python Course for MATLAB® users in March 2016. As we are all scientific Matlab programmers, we challenged Yoav with in-depth questions regarding practical problems we are facing in our work. Yoav demonstrated very good and thorough knowledge in Python, he explained the material in a very methodic way, and used very nice practical examples and exercises. When he did not know something, he returned with an answer by mail or by the next lesson.
I feel that I gained a lot of knowledge from this course and that this was a great kick-off for starting work with Python. I really recommend scientific programmers to use Yoav’s Python training. Well Done.”
Lior Cohen, Algorithm/SW Manager
“We attended Yoav’s Python for Engineers course and the course exceeded our expectations in many regards. Yoav is not only very professional and knowledgeable in the field of Python and all related packages, but he is also a very professional and clear instructor. The course really helped us understand basic Python and get familiar with many of the scientific packages and other useful tools (such as GUI, parallel computing, and other packages) available in Python.
Even die-hard fans of MATLAB® were convinced by the end of the course that Python is an excellent replacement and we will definitely implement what we have learned in our next projects. As a company that performs complicated algorithmic research and development projects (in fields such as computer vision, machine learning, and especially deep learning) we greatly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning Python for engineering or algorithmic research and development purposes.”
Asaf Kagan
“Not one, but two groups of researchers from ‘Nova Measuring Instruments’ attended Yoav Ram’s course consecutively. This by itself can serve as a quality stamp. Yoav’s course is thorough, didactic, comprehensive, and very clear. It is exactly what anyone would need to start developing in Python, or make the transition to Python if you are a MATLAB® addict.
Highly recommended!”
Yanir Hainick, modeling team-leader, CTO group
